Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine and reveal a viable two-axis solar monitoring system that produces higher voltage output than a fixed panel. After intensive research, a small-scale solar panel, servo motors, arduino processor as controller, and a two-axis solar tracker using a transmitter wirelessly transmitting voltage feedback were carried out.
In addition, a 'Smart House' model that makes our current lives safer and more practical has been investigated. Remote control of the smart home system has been analyzed. For remote control of the smart home model, the IoT (Internet of Things) structure uses the MQTT Protocol, NodeMCU (ESP8266) Control Card and sensors of different features to build this structure. Signals from sensors are directed to MQTT Broker with the help of the NodeMCU (ESP8266) Control Card. Phone control is provided through the mobile app, which is written using QML and C++ languages in the QT Creator IDE.
